So, using [IMG] tags is hotlinking, but using [url] and [youtube] tags is not? WTF is the difference, and why is it included in every forum software package (including vBulletin, which powers The Cellar)?

I hot link because it's easier and I don't want to fill my hard drive with whims. Most of them are linked to servers that host images for a living and do not object to it. Downloading and uploading images to the cellar server costs the cellar more bandwidth. It's more permanent though....

But since bandwidth has increased worldwide, hotlinked images are not much of a problem for us any more, and certainly not for image hosting sites like Imgur. The only problem with hotlinking now is that we will outlast the other sites and the threads won't be pretty. I like the idea that our threads may still be useful and interesting in 10-20 years.

I have always wanted to fill out the utterly simple image hosting that IotD uses, and make it available to all Dwellars with a nice interface, inside the Cellar security so that your username and password allow you into the image hosting. It could still happen.
